The government is taking an invisible hands approach and letting the market decide. The Patent office decided it should not interfere with the naming of sports teams and acted accordingly.

I am less bothered by your work colleagues having a narcissistic side or not garnering as many likes on their grad thesis as on their vacay - not to say that isn't all too typical - pics as my 14 year old niece getting obsessed with her looks because she lives in a town full of uber rich Mean Girls.

They were just pissed that she no-showed her unannounced concert at Lupo's so they chugged their last few 'gannsetts and tossed 'em over the fence. The guard was a Yankees fan. No jury north of Milford would convict.

We live in a world where you have to wonder, though. There have been whole websites dedicated to trawling for ''hot'' pics of underage girls from their social media. who knows how young they go?

I worked for a celebrity chef who was not into molecular gastronomy per se but had his science down. He could talk at length how well done ruins the steak at the most basic levels, that it literally is destroying every component and physical manifestation of the steak. When all the ranchers, butchers, critics, brainy…

I want bad things to happen to Maureen Corrigan. I feel so let down by Terri Gross over her.

Therefore he forfeits his dog. Got it.

So you're just here to set everyone straight? The Lord's work, surely.

If you are asking - yes, I would defend you if people call you an asshole over your take on this. That would be mean.

Silly Mom just blithely expecting she doesn't have to worry about some pic of her kids ending up on a racist asshole's page. WTF was she thinking?

It's like the whole creepshot thing - you have no expectation of privacy in public may be a fact of law but you are a major fucking asshole to use that for your jollies.

Not to mention the pics themselves often have all the location and time info on them.

Ugh, my tween niece is so heartbreakingly beautiful and looks older and sometimes it seems all she does is post selfies online.

Hit dismiss. This person is just a glue trap of mess.

Don't feed the troll.

''Another thing that puzzles me about parents like Duffy: if she was so ineffective in instilling her "world view" over the first 17 years of her daughter's life that a private 5 minute conversation with a nurse can undo everything, then that is not the state's problem; it's the parent's. ''

You seem like a nice person.
